Liza Minnelli: There, I said it. Now go watch Liza with a Z and discover what you’ve been missing.

Kathy Griffin:Laura and Kathy personally converted me. My problem with her has always been that anyone can make fun of celebrities. We all do it. I suppose there is the “oh no she din’nit!” aspect to much of her comedy, but there was more substance than that. I think I laughed even more than Laura at the show last night. She made you feel like we all knew each other, and her…like she’d say, “You guys have heard about O’Reilly and the pussy, right?” or “Wasn’t that weird about Brooke having her baby the same day as Tom’s?” Very conversational. Loved it.

That is the smartest thing I’ve ever heard said about Paul McCartney (musically anyway). Paul has always been at his best when the music is simple and the lyrics are cryptic (think “McCartney”, “Chaos”, or “Ram”). He falters when he overproduces and tries to write a story (with a few exceptions, such as “Eleanor Rigby”). But he also has the power to do something cheesy yet musically good, like a musical. Of course they’d still need to bring in Tim Rice because Paul could never write good enough lyrics on his own.

There have been rumors of Paul and Brian Wilson working on an album. I think that’d be brilliant, even lyrically. It better happen–it coudl be another “SMiLE.”

Ok, I’m sorry if I will come off as a completely ignorant bastard with this post. If I do, please just let me know and I’ll accept it.

I have a confession – I don’t understand this whole immigration debate. To me, the logical stance is to only allow legal immigrants to live and work here. If that means that we give 11 million currently illegal (or I guess the PC term is undocumented) aliens citizenship, then so be it. But I doubt all of them will be eligible.

So why are all these “immigration rights” folks protesting all over the place these days? What are they protesting against? I keep hearing things like, “they are coming out of the shadows…” So now that we’re actually discussing that there are people illegally living in the country, they come out and think it’s okay?

How is it okay? It’s illegal. Period. Either get a green card, become a citizen, or leave. If I went to live in Great Britain (a huge dream of mine) and I lacked any documentation–I’d be risking it big time. If they caught me, I’d expect to be sent away or imprisoned. Why should the United States be any different?

I do appreciate the work illegal immigrants do here. They do the jobs Americans think they are too good for. But the key is that they are illegal. We have borders for a reason, and we have laws for a reason. We can’t just ignore one law just because it’s nice for our businesses.

If anyone can clarify this, please do so in the comments section. Thanks.

“‘I really love her,’ said Lindgren, a 27-year-old mother of two from Denmark, Maine. ‘I watch ABC now, but I’d rather watch Katie than the person doing the evening news (at ABC) now. She’s outgoing, she’s energetic and she seems to relate to the people nicely.’

Lindgren is among the 29 percent of people responding to an Associated Press-TV Guide poll this week who said they preferred Couric in the evening. Forty-nine percent of the people said they favored Couric in the morning.”

Ok, this is odd for a couple reasons. One is how can people say they prefer a newscaster in the evenign when they haven’t seen her in the evening? Two, I happen to prefer Couric in the afternoon, with a fine Pino Noir and aged cheddar.

I’m confused:Couric, 49, would be the first woman to be named as a sole host of a network evening newscast — even though Elizabeth Vargas frequently has done that job alone at ABC’s “World News Tonight.”

What about Connie Chung? Did I completely make up memories of her anchoring the CBS evening news, or was it that she co-anchored with Dan Rather? Ok, IMDB lists her as “Herself – Substitute Anchor (1989-1995)/Co-anchor (1993-1995)”. She must have done it by herself at some point though.

Even my mom has grown tired of Katie. Good luck, CBS.

UPDATE: Welcome, Washington Post Express Readers! On April 5th, this blog was quoted in said paper. My friend Ben just happened to notice it as he read the paper along his way to work this morning. Here’s a snippet of the famous (amongst my friends anyway) page:As Laura said, now I’m e-famous! Thanks to the Post Express.
